There are lots of reasons why Spanish is the third most studied language in the world (only behind English and French).
Learning a language can open the door to new exciting experiences
Like new job opportunities! In an increasingly globalized world, many companies are doing business in Spanish speaking countries, which in general are growing much faster than in more developed nations like the US, Canada or the UK.
Also, with a large number of Spanish speakers living in all corners of the globe, more and more businesses are catering to the needs of Spanish speaking customers.
Volunteer and help those in need
In certain regions of Central and South America, millions of people continue to live in poverty. In response to this, there are many organizations which sponsor volunteer or missionary trips to help those in need. You could be helping build homes for local families, or educating children at an orphanage.

Learning languages creates long lasting friendship
Language is the ultimate connector. If you can speak Spanish, you’ll be able to communicate with a lot more people, and you’ll right away have something in common with them. People take an instant liking to you when you use their native language, and it’ll enable you to get to know them at a deeper level.
This makes it easier to make new friends in a variety of situations, such as when traveling on vacation, at work, or even just hanging out in your hometown.
Spanish is spoken for 450 million people
It improves brain function
Many studies have concluded that being bilingual can prevent or delay the onset of dementia later in life. Having to switch between two languages helps exercise parts of the brain and makes them more resilient. Although lifelong bilingualism has the strongest protective effect, even attempting to learn a language can be beneficial. So the earlier you start learning, the better!
